Yesterday with perfect conditions we topdressed all the greens on the course. 30 greens topdressed in 2 and a half hours. Around a third of a tonne of straight sand was applied per green left to dry and drag matted in. We need to apply sand to stop accumulations of thatch and to keep the surface firm. We try to have two applications in the growing season and a heavy dressing in the maintenance week where incorporate more sand into the root zone.
Following sand dressing the greens were sprayed with growth regulator and irrigation was applied during the night to help work the sand into the canopy.
The tees were also sprayed with growth regulator following cutting.
